Advice for Music Snobs

1)  Variety is the spice of life.  If you can't respect a wide variety of things, your relationships will all be limited and redundant.

2)  To speak in absolutes is to ignore the complexities of truth.

3)  Classic rock does not necessarily equal good rock.

4)  To say a band has sold out when it goes from little known to popular- this is ludicrous.  You can't blame someone for being successful.

5)  On the same level, you can't get upset when a band changes its sound.  Can you imagine how boring it would be to never try anything new?  To play the same sounds year after year?  If you listened to only one band for the rest of your life, you'd go crazy.  Well the same goes for the people in the band; they don't want to play the same songs the same way for the rest of their lives.  People change.  When those people are in a band together, that means the band must change too, and if it's not flexible enough to do so, it breaks up instead.
